I got pierced today! YAY! I am so excited. I can't believe I did it either. I really thought I would chicken out. I was literally shaking when I went in there. LOL. I was originally going to get my labret done but my friend told me a vertical lip would be better so I wouldn't rub down my gums. So I went ahead and got the vertical lip. Now, that was ALL I was planning LOL. But he sweet talked me into getting my ears done too, at a 4 gauge! :eek: He did it for free, so I just went ahead and did it. Boy did it hurt! My ears are still very painful. My lip doesn't hurt at all though. It was a little painful during the piercing part but feels fine now. I just can't believe I did my ears. :p

Here are some pictures. :)

Jared and I. He totally gave me a deal today. He is holding the needle that went through my ears!

Ouch! They look great, I especially like the one in your ear.
I would have passed out, I don't handle pain too well.

Yeowch! Stretching from 14 to 10 was painful enough for me. Just make sure you're ready to keep those holes for life. 2/0 gauge is often said to be the "point of no return". I'm sure it would shrink but I don't think it would ever go back to 18 gauge.

The vertical labret looks awesome, btw! :D Ibuprofen will help loads with the swelling. :)

Ouch!

Hubby has a friend with ear piercings like that . . . not sure what gauge it is . . . I just know that he can stick a pencil through it, LOL.

Sweet!
I've got 2 ga. in my ears, but I did it slowly, going up one gauge at a time so it sisn't hurt at all. LOL

I love the lip, I'm waiting for my Labret to heal fully then I may get that done, I'm waiting a while though to hear from others that have it, to see if it will eventually grow out. I hated how my labret rubbed on my gums.

Ya, I got tihs because I didn't want to deal with the gum issue, and Jared said there was no way I could do it because my jaw is really small. I like this because it's on the outside, and not on the inside at all. :)
